A NEW ENTERPRISE.
A Glass and Bottle Factory To be Estab-
Iished.

A Glass and Bottle Factory To be Estab-
Iished.
A movement is on foot TO establish an
extensive factory for the manufacture OF
bottles and other glassware. The COM
PAW has been formed, but has not per-
fected its organization as yet. A suiti-
cient amount of capital has been sub
scribed to insure its success. The ground
for the works has been secured on the
northwestern limits of the city, and it is
expected that the erection Of the build
ings will be begun in short time.
Philadelphia men will furnish part
of the capital, and the greater portion OF
the skilled labor will be from that city
until it is well under way. The number
of men employed will probably be one
hundred, and for every man so employed
two boys will be required as assistants.
The consumption of coal will be about
forty tons per day. AS far as possible
the cooperative plan will be followed
in the conduct of the enterprise. 1t has
proven of great success. The company
will be duly incorporated in a short time,
and it is expected that operations VIII be
begun by August 1st
As this enterprise will give employ
ment to quite a number of people and
open up an entirely new field of industry
il will have the best wishes of the COM
munity for its entire success.

Writ for Contempt Dismissed.

On December 30, 1886, n. Greenwald
d Son made an assignment OF goods IN
their store, and the deed for the same
was duly recorded in the City Chancery
Court
j. Obendorfer & Co., Of New York, and
other Northern creditors entered suit IN
the United States Circuit Court to upset
the deed. They claimed that Greenwald
had obtained goods from them after ne
had made the assignment. United States
Marshal Scott was ordered to take pos
session of the store.
In making his returns to the court
Marshal Scott complained that he had
been greatly INSTRUCTED in the execution
of the process of the court by Philip and
Moses Hirshberg
The court then entered an order that
p. and NJ. Hirshberg be summoned to APP
pear before the court on January 29th,
and to show cause, if any they could,
why the goods in their respective stores
should not be seized by the United States
marshal and to further show cause why
they should not be fined and imprisoned
for contempt of court for obstructing the
order of the said court.
The answer to the writ was heard by
Judge Hughes in the United States Circuit
Court here yesterday afternoon. The
Messrs. Hirshberg were represented by Sol.
L. Bloomberg and Edmund Pendleton, Jr.
Hon. Edgar Allan, S. Proskauer, and
C. Wendlinger appeared for the Northern
creditors.
After full hearing of the case Judge
Hughes decided that there had been no
contempt intended or shown, and accor-
dinghy dismissed the writ.

Meeting Postponed.

The members monthly meeting called
for last night at the Young Mems Chris
tian Association was indefinitely post
poned
This is matter Of regret. The fact that
of its being the night for weekly services
at all of the churches, and the fact also
that some members are at the stanton
Convention, may have had something to
do with the failure. But the members
must stir up. With so attractive pro-
gramme as was announced the parlors
should have been crowded.

Lillian Russell, the Coming "Prima

1t seems such a short time ago since
Lillian Russell was "discovered' by the
management of the New York Casino,

that time everybody was in ecstacies
over the physical beauty, and delightful
voice of the vocalist. Miss Rus
SELL since that time has made rapid
strides in her chosen profession and is
to-day, perhaps, the best of the comic

enchanting voice and the ability to use it
to its best advantage. Miss Russell will

ONE IRISH LANDLORD.
The Fearful Story of One Victim
 of Land Agitation.

Every American knows of the pity and deep compassion which has been poured out in Eng land upon the poor down-trodden landlord. It may interest many to learn about the misfor- tune of one of the down-trodden ones. The estates of the Earl of Donoughmore are in Kerry. Not long ago the noble Earl made trip to Australia and brought back with him a young bride, very beautiful girl, the daugh CT of Col. Stevens, a we'll known Australian. The return was tri- umphant one, and was signalled by grand welcome, fireworks, arches of flowers, and all the rest of it, organized by Lord Norton, the Earl's particular friend. Before his marriage, Earl Donoughmore was out in Roumelia with Sir Edmund Drummond Wolff, and held the high office of Assistant British Commits sioner Only last year the Earl was still a big star in the aristocratic frma- ment, and in the House of I0ros he moved the address to the Queen. Blu, sud( en- ly there has come change. The .Ea1e k .niss- ed from his accustomed paths. His friends who know the cause of his disappearance keep it to themselves. The rest of his circle knows in general way that he used to have money from Ireland, that he hasn't any now, and they point tearfully to 6 new victim of the Land League.
 The true facts about this Irish landlord, of which the English public will not be told, are these: He has mortgaged his estates until the rent roll no longer suffices to pay interest on the debt, and has run away from his young wife, who has no fortune with which to SUD- port him. He now goes about the country with troupe of strolling players. The bright particular star in whose wake he is travelling is tenth-ra'e actress named Kate Evers sey.

fur dyeing and fur dressing establishment, . large frame building Tn Ellery street, Brook. lyn, N. Y., was burned to the ground. It took fire at midnight in a lower floor. In an upper room two young workmen were sleeping. Ro- yer, a Newfoundland dog, had the run of the building, and he seems to have been the first to discover the fire. He ran up stairs to the room of the sleeping men and endeaeored to arouse them. He doubtless parked at them and punched them with his paws with. out awakening them. At last, and there can be no doubt about this, he caught the bed coverings with his teeth and pulled them off from the first led, in which one was sleeping. Even that did not rouse teeth to the mans ankles, wrists and shou der, and finally succeeded in partially arousing him. The man jumped from the bed in dazed condition and ran down stairs, the dog following him closely. door opened upon the street immediately at the foot of the stairs, but it was locked, and the man was so confused and frightened that he could not find the key to open 1t.
 Meanwhile the flames had made such pro- gress as to shut off any other means of escape The dog comprehended the situation, If the man did not, and began a vigorous bowling which attracted the attention of the gathering crowd in the street. who broke the door in, and man and dog rushed out together.
 But Rover was not yet through his work of rescue He remembered the other sleeper. As soon as he was satisfied of the first man s safety, he rushed back into the burning building, ran up stairs, and, without parleying, seized the man by the shoulder, dragged him from his couch, and them dragged him down the stairs and into the street. When he was brought out by the dog he nearly suffo- cated with smoke that he was unconscious, and bystanders dashed water in his face to revive him. Hundreds of people witnessed the last act of the intelligent dog, while scores saw his recue of the first man. Rover is two years old

A Severe Test.

The New York Herald's Paris core spondent tells this story: A highly sen sational hypnotic experiment was achieved at private performance at the Folies Bergere The curtain rose and revealed a large cage containing three lions. Signor Giacometti, the lion tanner, then entered the cage and made the lions jump about and roar.
 Then pretty young lady in white dress appeared and was hypnotized by of Dr. Charcot. De Torcy and his hypnotized young lady entered the cage, the animals being kept in check by the lion tanner. De Torcy compelled the young lady to fall on the lions backs, and to place her head in a lions mouth, held open or the purpose by the lion tanner.
 The seance wound up by the young lady-who had been put in rigid acute cataleptic state-resting with her head on one stool and her feet on another while the lions jumped over her. One lion placed its paw on the patients thighs and caught in its mouth piece of meat attached to a cord, thereby firing pistol fastened to the roof of the cage.
 The lions all jumped about and roar ed furiously, and in the midst of the excitement De Torcy brought the pa tient out of the hypnotic trance and re- moved her from the cage.
 The Prefect of Police has not yet al- lowed this performance to be given in public, but the private performance was so vociferously applauded that it is be- ieved the restriction will soon be re- moved.
